Thanks to your generous donations, I raised $340 in Extra Life 2016. The money I raised will go to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

My team raised almost $55,000 and the entire event raised over 6 million dollars!

The 24 hours of gaming was rough – my team went from 12pm EST on Sat. to 12pm EST on Sun. Since I am a morning person, I had already been up for a long time before the event even started. Between 2am – 3:30am my character was just standing around for awhile because I was falling asleep at the computer. The time also changed that night so at 2am, the time went back to 1am and the event was actually 25 hours. I then rallied until about 9:30am. The last 2.5 hours were the worst – I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed. I even thought, “I’m starting to really dislike a game that I usually enjoy playing.”

But, it was worth it and I’m already excited to participate again in 2017.

Donations are accepted until the end of the year. If you thought about donating and would still like to, you didn’t miss out on the opportunity. Donations can be placed here.

This Saturday, November 5, 2016, I will be be participating in a videogame fundraiser by playing Rift, a Massively Multiplayer RPG, for 24 hours in Extra Life 2016 to help raise money for the Children’s Hospital Network. The donations I receive will be going to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The gaming will start at 12pm EST and will end 12pm EST on November 6, 2016. Since signing up I realized that Daylight Savings Time ends that night and we will have an extra hour – I guess 2am is going to last a really long time. :-)

Rift is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that I have been playing in my “spare” time the last couple of months. I am teaming up with the Trion Worlds Rift team which will be streamed on the official twitch channel. I have much faster internet this year and should also be streaming on my Twitch channel. In Rift (if you are watching or playing) I am Aprilryan – feel free to add me as a friend.

The Secret World is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that I have played on and off for a couple of years. I am teaming up with CoSC (Coalition of Small Cabals) and our gameplay will stream on Twitch on Taiver’s (our team Captain) Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/plutoderps). In The Secret World (if you are watching or playing) I am LakeBridge – feel free to add me as a friend.
